I don't know how old you are, so I'm going to assume that you're still in school. Keep your grades up so you could get into a good college. Consider some career options and maybe apply for an internship. I know that many companies offer part time jobs to students considering work in their field. Try to get a taste of what you'd like to do so when the time comes to pick your major in college, you'll be right on course and hopefully have a bit of experience over the rest of your classmates. This might also help you with your grades.

If I could change one thing, I would have done an internship or co-op during my summer's off while completing my Bachelor's degree. The problem is that when you graduate, most professional company's and DoD are looking for people that have experience. They won't hire you, because you have NO experience. Then you think, sh!t I went to school for five long years and achieved both and Associate's and Bachelor's degree and that doesn't count for anything? Don't think that just because you have papers that your foot is already in the door. I went through this problem and finally got an excellent job that is now paying for my Master's degree. My boyfriend is currently going through the same situation, and now has to decide whether he's going to pursue his Master's and work part-time in order to get a great job.

make some mistakes that's how you learn
what you learned in school and what you will actually do at work can be very different from each other( applications mostly)
don't let fear(doubt) over come the skills you know you have obtained in school
be confident in your job interviews, don't say: huh, ummm, basically or any other lame fill in words
hope this helps some
good luck

be a good listener, especially to the terminology of your desired line of work. Call things what they call them. For example if they refer to an "end-user" don't call it a "consumer". If they say "funding an account" don't call it "making a deposit" It really helps to use the same terms your future co-workers will be using, and work vocabularies are constantly changing. Good luck.

Do you mean education? Resume writing? I'm sorry, this question is a little unclear. Don't be worried though, you can do anything you want if your heart is involved.
